A century AflU LlXul UAriAlllU a u ( l a quarter ago Charles Lamb and Samuel Coleridge used to get together The captains for the twenty divisions at the ''Salutation and the Cat" and re-of the Women's League were elected' main there until the early hours of the last week by the various groups that make the club. Each captain is to take Much to the disappointment of all Philomatheans, their annual banquet^ which was to be given' at the Victoria Hotel last Saturday night, has been called off. The social and program committees had worked hard to prepare an unusual evening of delightful entertainment, but the club members voted to abandon the idea at their meeting Thursday, April 10. This action was taken after a thorough investigation of seen circumstances. An extension of time and another postponement would have been necessary if the original plans were to be carried out, but as there had been two or three previous changes in date the club members deemed it wise to cancel the affair. However; the same social and program committees are now at work preparing an event which promises to be even better than a banquet. They _are granting all Phi-los a most eventful evening in the form' of a party to be given at an early date. AUTHORSMEETFOR DISCUSSION OF WORK I have tried to look at all sides of the question of. playing tennis on Sunday, and it is my best judgment that it would be a serious mistake for the school to change a long established regulation which forbids the playing of tennis on Sunday. I have .arrived at this decision for the following reasons: I am certain that the school would suffer considerable criticism from a large number of people in this community and thruout the state if tennis were permitted on Sunday. The school needs all the friends it can possibly have to get support for measures which mean much to the future development of the institution. I feel confident that none of us want the' future development of the school to suffer because of criticism of a relatively minor matter. President Suzzallo, of the University of Washington, ^old me within the past week, that the playing of tennis is forbidden oh Sunday on the University Campus. If the largest educational institution of the state realizes the wisdom of taking such a position, I believe that we cannot afford to show less wisdom. I believe, as a school and as individuals, it is beneficial to us physically, mentally, and morally, to put aside on one day of the week, the regular activities that engage our time during six days of the week. Tennis is a regular activity of the school and should not be treated as an, exception. At a regular faculty meeting held on Tuesday, April eighth, where the question was carefully discussed, there was a vote of 13 in favor of and 28 against the playing of tennis on Sunday. - •,,- .,_ .^^rC^H-.Ei?lier, .President. _._, First Scheduled Game of Season Will Be May 10.

Constitution, on Orcas Island. A great abundance of Normal pep and spirit was manifest on board the two launches which carried the hikers, and remained so through the four- /four trip. 'When the launches tied up at the dock at Olga, all the hikers hurried to a hotel near the shore, and it wasn't long before hot soup, buns and coffee was being handed out to a long waiting line. Night Spent at Hotel. After this first meal oii the island, all got busy untieing their blankets and preparing places to spend the night. The boys were given beds oh the upper floor of the hotel, and the girls were given the. floor of the lower floor. Saturday morning, at 4:30, the Olga hotel was- once more alive with Normal spirit. Breakfast, consisting of hot cakes, bacon and coffee was -prepared, and again a hungry bunch of hikers stood in line. Soon after seven o'clock, the hike up the mountain was commenced. It was a warm day, but as the hikers ascended the mountain, they found themselves surrounded by heavy fog. After a three-hour climb, the top was reached, and lunch was eaten with enthusiasm by all. Kodaks in Evidence. The fog passed away about noon, and many kodaks were kept busy for some time. The hikers then returned to Olga, and dinner, the last meal of the trip, was served. Soon after four o'clock the launches were again loaded, and-, although the water was rough, they made their return trip to Bellingham.. The trip was over but the memories of it will stay with the hikers for a long time, as everyone pronounced it a complete success. President Dick Bruland called the Freshman class to order on Tuesday, April 15, at 11 o'clock. It was proposed and carried that the Freshman class cooperate with the Sophomore class to tag all people who have not paid their class dues.

Much to the disappointment of all
Philomatheans, their annual banquet^
which was to be given' at the Victoria
Hotel last Saturday night, has been
called off. The social and program committees
had worked hard to prepare an
unusual evening of delightful entertainment,
but the club members voted to
abandon the idea at their meeting
Thursday, April 10. This action was
taken after a thorough investigation of
seen circumstances. An extension of
time and another postponement would
have been necessary if the original plans
were to be carried out, but as there
had been two or three previous changes
in date the club members deemed it
wise to cancel the affair. However; the
same social and program committees
are now at work preparing an event
which promises to be even better than
a banquet. They _are granting all Phi-los
a most eventful evening in the form'
of a party to be given at an early date.
AUTHORSMEETFOR
DISCUSSION OF WORK
I have tried to look at all sides of the
question of. playing tennis on Sunday,
and it is my best judgment that it
would be a serious mistake for the
school to change a long established regulation
which forbids the playing of
tennis on Sunday. I have .arrived at
this decision for the following reasons:
I am certain that the school would
suffer considerable criticism from a
large number of people in this community
and thruout the state if tennis were
permitted on Sunday. The school needs
all the friends it can possibly have to
get support for measures which mean
much to the future development of the
institution. I feel confident that none
of us want the' future development of
the school to suffer because of criticism
of a relatively minor matter.
President Suzzallo, of the University
of Washington, ^old me within the past
week, that the playing of tennis is forbidden
oh Sunday on the University
Campus. If the largest educational institution
of the state realizes the wisdom
of taking such a position, I believe
that we cannot afford to show less wisdom.
I believe, as a school and as individuals,
it is beneficial to us physically,
mentally, and morally, to put aside on
one day of the week, the regular activities
that engage our time during six
days of the week. Tennis is a regular
activity of the school and should not be
treated as an, exception.
At a regular faculty meeting held on
Tuesday, April eighth, where the question
was carefully discussed, there was
a vote of 13 in favor of and 28 against
the playing of tennis on Sunday.
